Note to readers: Monday's D-FW Nielsens have been delayed by technical problems and Tuesday's might be, too. At least two local stations aren't thrilled about this. It's the heart of the November "sweeps," and the 10 p.m. battle between WFAA8 and CBS11 remains way too close to call. Any perceived irregularities can only complicate matters. Ed Bark
